I have been to 3 of the 4 offices and I think the Silver Spring office has a very professional and friendly staff. I very much appreciate that!

Dr Seinsheimer as above stated never spends time with the patient, makes you wait for and hour or more before he even gets there, and cannot even put a Cast on right. Does not care about what patients have to say. i kept telling him that my cast was way too loose he kept telling me that it wasnt, after 3rd time of me coming back and complaining, he finally decided to put a new cast on, which was way too tight!!! RETARD! What kind of orthopedic doctor doesnt know how to put a cast on?? 0_o

My daughter went to him when he was on call in the ER. She had a broken arm, and was very hurt and upset. He threatened her with surgery if she didn't stop crying. We also found out that he did not wait long enough for the pain medicine to work before setting her bone, thus causing her to experience a more traumatic and painful experience. Based on the other posts, it appears as if he is always in a rush and does not listen to his patients needs. I wonder how doctors like this keep their license?

This Doctor failed to recognize my symptoms, and was very quick to dismiss my complaints, indicating that I had a "pain intolerance." After a second consultation from another doctor, I needed Surgery to rectify my bone problems. Not only did this doctor incorrectly diagnose me, but he was also very rude in the process. I would advise against going to this doctor.

This doctor appears to have attending prestigious universities which led me to believe I would be getting a high quality care. When I went for a consultation about pain in my foot, he quickly dismissed my symptoms without taking an x-ray. I later went in for a consult elsewhere, and was told that I had a serious bone growth issue that needed surgery. He provided poor bedside manners, did not properly diagnose my problem, and was very rude to deal with.
